About this ebook

Olivia Mozatis doesn't have time for romance. Not since the disastrous affair she'd entered into nearly a decade earlier with a married man. She's too busy working her way up the corporate ladder these days, determined to put her past behind her. And that's when tragedy strikes. Attacked in her own home, raped, beaten to within an inch of her life and left for dead, Olivia wakes up in a hospital with no memory of what happened or how she got there.

And what's worse, as she tries to put the pieces of her life back together, Olivia learns that she's pregnant with her rapist's baby!

Sebastian Esparza has just met the most incredible woman. It's love at first sight for the dreamy doctor as he literally runs into his soul mate. And as he is a man that always gets what he wants, a prestigious career as a highly sought-after obstetrician, a sprawling country estate, and the good looks his mama gave him, what's to stop him from winning the heart of the woman he loves?

How about a secret that could change his life forever? Or a past full of ghosts that are never far from his memories?

As Olivia and Sebastian make their way through the uncertainties together, something far more sinister is at hand. Someone is watching them, following their every move, plotting against them. For he won't let anyone else have what belongs to him. Even if he has to kill for it.

April Cronin

At just 30 years old, I have lived a pretty full life already. My adolescence was anything but ordinary and though I have been through some things that I would not wish on anyone, I definitely feel like I have come out a much better person than I could have been. I went pretty wild in my youth, did some things that I am not so proud of, and others so fun I would do them all over again if I had the chance. Everything has shaped me into the person I am today, and for that, I would not change a thing, even the bad stuff. I will be honest, I never dreamt of being a writer, I wanted to be in Law enforcement, but the birth of my oldest son changed everything for me, and I had to rethink my entire future. Hardships forced me to take jobs I did not want, and the birth of my second child led me down the path of stay at home mom. If it were not for the books I read on a daily basis, I would probably have gone insane by now. I love my children, but a little adult interaction goes a long way. But I had a dream one night, and it bothered me, it bothered me so much I decided I just had to write it down. And once those floodgates opened...well... the rest is, as they say, history. I hope everyone will enjoy the characters I have created and will continue to create, they mean a lot to me, mostly, they keep me sane, and I have tried very hard to make them as real as possible as well as believably flawed. I love getting to know new people and encourage everyone to reach out to me! I am VERY responsive!
